The demo ran perfectly with open drivers on my R9 270x. I had system troubles recently so I don't have a distro installed to test the full version at the moment.

But honestly i'm so sick games barely working (or complete shit performance) with my R9 on Linux that I may be done with that until I get a replacement card.

Thanks, I added your results to that lag report.

I'll probably buy the upcoming Polaris 10 card, to replace my current Nvidia GTX 680.

I also missed the Demo. Anyone know where one can be found? I like the sound of this game, but not sure my old laptop can run it.

They removed the demo, since they don't have resources to keep it up to date. And if they'd keep the old one, it would give an incorrect impression about the current version of the game.

Looks like the demo was even pulled from Steam, which is kinda ridiculous.

Maybe GOG staff can still give people access to the demo? It still exists for people that had access to it.

Sounds like a dumb management decision to me. If the demo was broken or really gave a bad impression (which it doesn't) then i'd agree with pulling it.

It's simply out of sync, and therefore can't be used to compare with the actual game. I also would prefer for them to maintain the demo, but they said they would rather spend time on the game itself. Given that they can't even keep Trine games up to date here, the fact that they pulled the demo isn't unexpected.

looks good, wishlisted. Thanks!

here you can find the demo (in the description).

PS. I'm at level 5 in the final game. for now I really like it, Lily move better and there is no graphical problems in the final game.

thank you, i am sorry iff i look like a 80 year old now, ( im only 51 now ) but i grew up with old games, lousy graphics, i played a while with atari 2600, bad thing was these many flashes, cause thats what the games were back then.
vic 20 games, awfull graphics , looked more like reverse on and off to create the 'graphics' back then.
C64 was slightly better had even some metallic sounding speech in some games.
Then amiga came , amiga cd32 (cdtv was before that), my first pc with 4 or 8 MB ram and 100 hz , wow i was so happy, hd with a only few hundred mb and win 95, playing old jagged alliance, and commandos, fallout and the addictive redalert and command and conquer.
Thats why i love it when people release a new game that looks like these old classics, i love the old games they make with AGS, i have all wadjet eye games and anything that looks and plays like those.
My favorite genre is point and click, i just cant get enough games like this, the more the better, i havent played 90% of them yet, i think that would cost me alot of hours to finish them all.

For some reason I can't think of this as anything else than Shidwin.

Cool! :)

yes, libpng 1.2 is outdated since 2011 or so. But debian and its offsprings kept using it until very recently.
Debian made the transition to 1.6 like a month ago. Ubuntu decided to postpone the switch to after the 16.04 release.
you can hardly blame the developers for still using 1.2 with this game.

you (/someone) might want to lobby with the debian folks to keep libpng12 around. There is a lot of games depending on this.

Does anybody know if the GOG version of Shadwen comes with the 'Level Editor'?

The game is supposed to be mod friendly and allow you to create your own levels and mods. But from what I've read, it looks like the 'Level Editor' is only available with the Steam version of the game.

If this is true, then it really stinks! Cause I hate Steam and I'll never use it!

Someone has been made very happy today ;)
